✨ I Styled My Upcoming Handbag Collection Before It Even Arrived 🤌🏾👜
I had way too much fun making these. 😭
Since I don’t have all my bags in hand yet, I decided to create mood boards for each Footnote color and plan out exactly how I’d style them.
Every slide includes:
👜 The bag
👗 Outfit inspiration
💅🏽 Nails
📚 A book or Kindle vibe
✨ Accessories
🌸 Perfume pairings
Because to me, a handbag isn’t just an accessory… it’s a whole personality.

Creating mood boards for my handbag collection before receiving the bags was a game-changer. It allowed me to thoughtfully plan complete looks around each Footnote bag color, from Carolina Blue to Dusty Rose. Styling each bag wasn’t just about matching outfits; it became about curating a vibe that included nails, accessories, even a book or Kindle that matched the bag’s essence. For example, pairing the Burgundy Footnote bag with deep red nails and a cozy thriller novel added layers of personality to the look. I found that thinking of handbags as more than just accessories but as expressions of mood and occasion makes styling so much fun. By integrating perfume pairings, I added an intangible element that truly completed each aesthetic. I also realized that choosing a handbag color can influence an entire outfit’s tone—Olive inspired earthy tones and floral prints, while Navy sparked chic, minimalist styles. This pre-arrival styling helped me feel confident and prepared for when my new bags finally arrived. It’s also a great way to keep the excitement alive as you anticipate the collection. For anyone waiting on a special handbag drop, I highly recommend building mood boards that capture how you want to wear and feel with each bag. It turns shopping from a simple purchase into a creative journey that reflects your unique personality and lifestyle. In the end, a handbag truly is a personality in itself—each color tells a different story, and each style choice brings it to life. Whether you favor the sophisticated Navy or the soft Dusty Rose, styling ahead of time enriches the experience and makes every look intentional and personal.





That dusty rose needs to be in my life!! When are you launching your brand? I love the other style bag I’ve seen, in the green tweedy look! Pretty bags. Will they be very expensive? I live on a strict budget, but I really like them!!! 😍😍😍
